You might not have heard of Faithfull the Brand, but you'll certainly have seen its printed playsuits and dresses, as every influencer we can think of has at some point tagged the brand in their beach pictures. Faithfull's pieces are aimed at the "modern traveller," and its pieces are designed and produced using handmade techniques in Bali.
